How do I Bulk up My PtiBull?

Question

I have a One year Old Pitbull and He is a Picky eater with Dry Dog Food...he is very very lean but muscular somewhat.

I meant PitBull in my title.

Answer 1

Pitties usually don't stop growing and maturing until about 2 years old. Continue to feed your dog a decent qaulity food. By the time your dog is 2 he shoould start to fill out nicely.

Answer 2

Often buy in bulk, and have a large pantry where I can store the items. Do you save? Simple way to do the math. Make a list of prices a "normal" purchase for items that we would consider buying in bulk. Then visit one of the stores that offers "bulk" items. Get the prices for the same item in bulk. Calculate the "price per ounce/pound/unit" of each item and see what the idfference is. You may be surprised at what you can save on the items. You are right that 4 gallons of mayo may be too much for you. But there are many food staples that you can purchase in bulk, and then repackage, freeze, etc., to keep them fresh and usable. You normally stop weekly at a "bulk" store (called Gordon's) and spend around $20-30. I do the rest of my shopping elsewhere for perishables and fresh items. I find that the weekly "bulk" visit reduces my shopping bill by about $30-50 a week.

Answer 3

Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Answer 5

Feed him food with a match of tomato juice...
This are the benefits of tomatoes:

Scientists are suggesting the tomato lovers may be more likely to reduce the risk of serious disease. Lycopene, an anti oxidant which gives tomatoes their lovely rich red colour, helps remove free radicals from the body. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules and have been implicated in cancer and other serious diseases.

Professor Michael Avirim of the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel who is testing lycopene in clinical trials says, ' In its natural form, lycopene is an excellent anti oxidant that helps to prevent formation of oxidized LDL, the 'bad' cholesterol in blood, which contributes to the build up of plaque that narrows, stiffens and constricts arteries and can lead to heart attacks. When this natural extract was added to cancer cell cultures, the lycopene inhibited their growth. Lycopene is the most potent nutritional antioxidant found to date

Another study compared men who had had a heart attack with the same number of healthy men and found that those with high levels of lycopene appeared to reduce their risk of heart diseases by a half.

The studies coordinator, Lenore Kohlmeier, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the university of North Carolina, said, 'Based on our findings, and other research, lycopene can be an excellent antioxidant, we recommend that people eat tomato based cooked foods.'

Including fresh, ripe tomatoes in your diet is a delicious and effective way to please your palate - and may help fight some types of cancer. So indulge the tomato!

Several recent studies have shown that a diet rich in tomatoes and tomato products is strongly linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers. In a six year study of 48,000 male professionals, Dr Edward Giovannucci and colleagues at Harvard Medical School found that consuming tomatoes and tomato based products between five to seven serving a week was associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer of 21% to 34%.
Because of this every man or animals can be fat fast.
